Basketball is officially back as the Utah Jazz opened their 2019-20 season with a dramatic 100-95 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder Wednesday night in Salt Lake City.
Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell finished with a game-high 32 points, including 22 in the second half, to lead the Utah to the come-from-behind win. The Jazz trailed by eight points in the final quarter before closing strong.
"There are times in every game when it's not about coverage or the play," Jazz head coach Quin Snyder said. "It's collectively about guys being determined. I thought we were persistent with every possession, trying to work, and we got better and more connected as the game went on.
